Sweet Surrender

Suddenly the world and its glitter seems fading,

I am so in love and Your ways I’m appreciating,

I feel a breaking inside, but it’s so sweet,

Someday to dance with You and meet.

I feel I’m being poured out, an empty cup,

Awaiting Your in-fillling, come fill me up.

All I have belongs to you, it’s a sweet surrender,

To you my life, my breath, my living I render.

I hear you whispering in the quietness of my soul,

Your plans to perfect me and make me whole,

You just ask me to submit to Your will,

You promise a new start, a new thrill.

It gets difficult as my self gets in the way,

I need You to help me die to self, I pray.

In Jesus' embrace

The world is choking me,

The wind is too cold,

Everywhere its hate I see,

I find myself no more bold.

Yet in a still quiet voice I hear Him say,

“In the storm I hold your hand,

I know you hide tears during the day,

But always by your side I stand.

You’ll be stirred but not shaken,

Mocked, persecuted, wronged,

Yet you are mine not forsaken.

I will fulfill all that you’ve longed,

Fear not, just be patient,

I rise up on your behalf,

In no way am I latent,

You’re protected from head to calf.”

So now I hold my rest,

With Him I pass every test,

Through wind and storm,

rain, hail, cold and warm,

I know His loving embrace,

I feel safe in Jesus’ grace.

If only you knew...

You try and try to be my flesh’s thorn,

Spewing your aggression and scorn,

In arrogance you deny your own blood,

Remember, big pride is followed by a big thud.

This time you tried to make me cry,

But I stood strong and said goodbye.

I choose to ignore you and bless you,

Even when wounds you try to renew.

But thankfully I know the truth,

And I am not one of the devil’s brute.

I know it’s not you, but the evil one,

Trying to always get us undone,

I forgive and forgive as God give’s me grace,

Someday I’ll have strength to see you face to face,

Without feeling so angry and hurt inside,

I chose only Jesus to be my guide.

I know He loves you as He loves me,

Only wish your blind eyes could see,

The black magic, the godmen who mislead,

The one’s who misguide your every deed,

Be released I pray in Jesus name,

Be set free, from all this evil, so lame.

Wait

I laugh now when I look back,

This was one of satan’s attacks

To use a sweet smile, calm voice,

I realise I have no ability in choice.

All I can say is God saved me,

He truly completely set me free.

‘Do not let love awaken before time’,

A warning in my head to chime,

From the Word of God I adore,

Please do the same I implore!

It calls for wisdom to comprehend,

As the wind blows a tree shall bend,

Such can be a human’s love so frail,

To put you behind thick tear’s veil.

Beware men, women, young and old!

Falling for the wrong one, is not bold,

It is courageous to wait for true love,

Awaiting guidance from the One above.

He has not willed for man to be alone.

Wait for from your bones is a bone.
